Grain and The Primary Essentials present a new rug inspired by aerial landscapes and crop circles. Features such as those created by central pivot irrigation and the alternating patterns of harvested farmland came to mind as the designers at Grain pieced together the rug’s shapes.
Designed and produced in the USA, the rug utilizes fabrication techniques developed by early American settlers.
